Because you never listen.

[He'll just punctuate that with another kiss.]

[11calls]

You should still be glad of it, my Richard.

[And she's just going to kiss his neck before she whispered:]

And where would we be without one another?

[nobasisinfact]

[There are answers to that. Answers she doesn't want to know that have her in a much happier place, but he knows she doesn't want to hear that, so he just kisses her instead.]

[11calls]

[Alex just kisses him back, molding herself to him as her hand slides between them to start on his buttons, and then she pulls back just a bit to whisper, her eyes locked on his.]

There's nowhere else I'd rather be, Richard. I love you, and no matter what happens, I'd still always chose this.

[And then she just kisses him again, because she knows he loves her and she doesn't need him to say it back.]

[nobasisinfact]

[He kisses back, only this time the kiss has less libido in it and more of his heart. More of that phrase he's only said once while he was half asleep. Pulling back, he rests his forehead against hers, eyes closed. as he brushes her hair.]

I know.

[Kissing her again he adds a slight rib between them.]

But it's still a poor choice.

[11calls]

[Alex just closes her eyes for a moment, smiling into the kiss as she feels it change, and her arms wrap around his neck, just holding onto him before she laughs once more against his lips.]

Good. But it's mine.

[nobasisinfact]

[He kisses her again, and between kisses adds.]

See, poor taste.

[11calls]

[He's not the only one who can tease between kisses, only Alex is dotting them along his neck.]

Poor taste is the new good taste, my love.

[nobasisinfact]

Poor taste will always be poor taste.


[He'll be unbuttoning her shirt now.]

[11calls]

And yet, here you are, taking my shirt off.

[The words are a smirk against his neck again.]

Maybe taste doesn't matter in the slightest.

[She's just going to use his shirt to tug him closer to the bed.]

[nobasisinfact]

If you say love conquers all I will put your shirt back on.

[He sounds entertained as he lets her pull him to the bed.]

[11calls]

[Okay, that just makes her crack up so much, she can't even remember what she was doing other than giggling.]

[nobasisinfact]

[Hey, he thought it was a pretty effective threat.

Now that she's killed the mood better than he did earlier he's going to sit on the bed, half dressed, and pull her into his arms, hiding his own smirk by keeping her back to him.]

Finished?

[His own amusement still shows through his voice in a slight laugh despite his trying not to.]

[11calls]

[Alex knows how to read him and his voice well enough to know just how amused he is too, and while she wants the expression on her face to be a smirk, she knows that it's actually a rather large grin that has a bit of smugness in it.

Still she traced her fingers up his arms slowly, her voice still holding so much amusement in it.]

You act like you didn't know I was going to crack up when you said it, Richard Strand.

[Because of course he did, so really, he was the one who killed the mood and not her.]

[nobasisinfact]

I assure you, I was being entirely honest.

[He really would have put her shirt back on and gone to read a book if she'd gone that far into fanciful sappiness on him. It would have been the principal of the matter if nothing else.

He leans in to plant a soft kiss against her spine.]

[11calls]

[That just makes her laugh again as she leans back against him, her eyes half-closing like a cat's.]

I know you were. That's why it's so funny, my love.

[nobasisinfact]

I'm not sure how that makes a deterrent 'funny'.

[He envelops her the rest of the way in his arms, crossing them in front of him.]

[11calls]

Well. I mean just look at how you phrased it.

[Leaning back into him, Alex Judy dotted a kiss to his jawline.]

[nobasisinfact]

It was perfectly adequate phrasing.

[He leans around carefully to have access to her lips.]

[11calls]

[And she kisses him back of course before she adds:]

Perfectly adequate if you wanted me to laugh that is.

[nobasisinfact]

Well,

[He pauses to think.]

It kept you from saying something stupid.

[11calls]

Oh please, Richard. There are some things that even I wouldn't say.

[A beat and a grin.]

Even before you threaten to put my shirt back on.

[nobasisinfact]

I wouldn't put it past your sap stained wheelhouse.

[11calls]

Oh come on, I'm not that bad, Richard.

[Alex is just going to lean back into him with a cheeky grin.]

[nobasisinfact]

Says the woman practically grabbing my hand when we first met.

[He'll just weaponize your touchiness against you.]
